Ok, somehow we were able to capsize our Getaway while "heaving to", it was very embarrassing since we weren't even moving. The temp was in the mid 60s, wife was wearing a sweatshirt and raincoat to keep warm, winds were 20-25 kts and gusty. I tacked into the wind to stop, kept the jib in the backwards position and started working on the rudders (to keep them locked in opposing turn- turned towards the wind). While I was trying to lock the tiller down with a bungee, the boat started to turn away from the wind and the windward hull lifted up. I noticed that the mainsail was locked in trimmed-in position and I tried to uncleat it, but it was too late. We went over fast, wife was sitting on leeward hull and I was in middle (not good).

We can laugh about it now, but it was not a good thing at the time. Anyone else have this happen? Just thought I would write a word of warning! Am I the only idiot that tips a boat while stopped? Ok, let the insults and jokes fly.........

Seriously, we all have done it. Some of us more than once. If someone has not YET done it, the YET is the crucial wording. I mean, we get relaxed and the wind shifts, or you come out from behind a point or something that's shadowing the wind, and over you go!
